USA's sham 'democracy' is exposed

THE USA is showing the world what it really means by democracy, as police thugs are sent in to break up Occupy protests.

The latest nauseating incident came in Denver, Colorado.

Explained a report on Indymedia: "There are few scarier sights than that of 100 police officers putting on
gas masks. That view, along with the largest showing of police force
yet, graced Occupy Denver's weekly rally today when state and city
police reacted to the renewed presence of tents.

"The unrest was met with
pepper spray, batons, an unknown number of arrests and at least one
protester being shot out of a tree with a round of rubber bullets.

"'It was a great
party until the police crashed it with hundreds of rubber bullet guns,'
says protester Kerri Kellerman, who was arrested during both of the
first two rounds. 'We keep putting on peaceful protests, and they keep
crashing them until it's not peaceful at all anymore once they're here'.

"Early in the day, Occupy organizers called out on social media
for people to show up in mass numbers for the Saturday rally to support
efforts to "take back the park." This focused mostly on setting up
eleven tents as a symbol of the movement's freedom and a reminder of the
need it faces for shelter from increasingly cold weather. The majority
of the tents were reclaimed from the state patrol yesterday by
protesters with IDs after they were removed from the group's previous
site in Lincoln Park.

"By the time the day's approximately
2,000-person march rounded its way back to the campsite, with a long
stop in front of the Capitol building, officers had mobilized and formed
ranks around the area in preparation.

"At about 3:30 p.m., the
first round of violent interaction occurred on the side of the park
opposite the tents. Officers moved in on the gathering with rubber
bullet guns already out and pointed -- an increase in aggression
compared to the beginnings of previous demonstrations.

"As protesters
grouped to shout chants at the cops and form a barrier between the
officers and the camp, police opened fire on the group and openly
sprayed tear gas at any occupiers standing in the way. One protester,
Andrew Cleres, was shot from a tree with an entire round of rubber
bullets while taking photos of the scene."

Meanwhile, authorities in Nashville have tried to use a curfew to stop the protests, thus further revealing the truth behind the big lie of American 'free speech'.

An overwhelming majority of people are happy to be living in this industrial capitalist world. We know this because we are told it constantly.
How could we foresee a near future in which the hypnotic spell is broken, the scales fall from a billion eyes and those who say 'Enough!' are revealed, all of a sudden, to be a gale force wind of revolt, a tidal wave of insurgent delight sweeping all before it, a minority so vast it will change everything?
